Pick

I’m backing the Diamondbacks here. Not often I’ll pass up plus money with Atlanta, but I think the favorite price on the D-Backs is warranted as Gallen’s been so good at home for the D-Backs this season. Michael Soroka also wasn’t anything to be excited about in his return to the mound and I’m sure it’ll be fine down the road, but this game isn’t played down the road and in their current forms I have to side with Gallen over Soroka. Give me Arizona here.
